Good evening, everybody out there. I have a question: I have a colostomy bag, and my rectum is having lumps coming out of it, and they're very painful. Is that something that I need to get taken care of right now as an emergency, or does it get better? Anybody out there who can help me, please?

Probably dried mucus, which is normal. Give your doctor a call in the morning.

Agree with @SusanT, probably nothing to be concerned about, but I would check with your surgeon's office and let them know.

Hello everyone!!!

It has been almost a year since joining this site. I just wanted to share. I know a lot of people get concerned about meeting someone on here. I'm not a lifer membership and I had someone initiate to take me out. I've been divorced since 2009. He lives in Chicago. I ignored the first time thinking he was joking. I live in Milwaukee. So a month later he sent me a message through this site saying he wanted to meet me. That was in April this year. I must say it was the best thing that could happen to me. We talk almost every day. We have so much in common. He comes up all the time to spend the day or weekend together. It really does make a difference when someone has an ostomy like you. Such understanding and we always have something to talk about. I want to share because sometimes people think it's hard to meet someone or they say this site doesn't work. I'm a testimony that this site does work. We are talking marriage this time next year. I will keep you posted.

I agree with everyone else. It's probably mucus, and nothing to worry about. Sometimes mucus is hard to pass.

Ditto what's been said.
